Shen Mu single-handedly promoted Lu Zheng, who came from a construction site, to CEO. But after taking power, Lu Zheng turned ungrateful, favored the intern Ke Mingxuan, handed the core project to him, and deliberately gave Shen Mu a monthly salary of only 249 yuan to humiliate him. Feeling disheartened, Shen Mu voluntarily took a pay cut and stepped down to finish the approval process. A security vulnerability broke out in the smart park and the system collapsed; Ke Mingxuan was helpless, so Lu Zheng forced Shen Mu to clean up the mess, but he was only willing to perform work corresponding to 249 yuan. At the board meeting, Shen Mu publicly presented evidence exposing Lu Zheng for bypassing procedures to promote Ke Mingxuan and transferring company assets. The group promised high positions and generous rewards to win him over, but Shen Mu refused the position, only signing a technical outsourcing agreement for two million to unlock the repair.
